$Now I sit me down in school
$Where praying is against the rule
$For this great nation under God
$Finds mention of Him very odd
$If Scripture now the class recites
$It violates the Bill of Rights
$And anytime my head I bow
$Becomes a federal matter now
$Our hair can be purple or orange or green
$That's no offense, it's the freedom scene
$The law is specific, the law is precise
$Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice
$For praying in a public hall
$Might offend someone with no faith at all
$In silence alone we must meditate
$God's name is prohibited by the State
$We're allowed to cuss and dress like
$freaks
$And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks
$They've outlawed guns; but first the
$Bible
$To quote the Good Book makes me liable
$We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen
$And an unwed daddy, our Senior King
$It's "inappropriate" to teach right from
$wrong
$We're told that such "judgments" do not
$belong
$We can get our condoms and birth control
$Study witchcraft, vampires and totem
$poles
$But the Ten Commandments are not allowed
$No Word of God must reach this crowd
$It's scary here I must confess
$When chaos reigns the school's a mess
$So, Lord, this silent plea I make
$Should I be shot, my soul please take

$This is what the LORD says:

$"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
$who depends on flesh for his strength
$and whose heart turns away from the LORD.
$He will be like a bush in the wastelands;
$he will not see prosperity when it comes.
$He will dwell in the parched places of
$the desert, in a salt land where no one
$  lives.

$"But blessed is the man who trusts in the
$LORD, whose confidence is in him.
$He will be like a tree planted by the
$water that sends out its roots by the
$stream. It does not fear when heat comes;
$its leaves are always green.
$It has no worries in a year of drought
$and never fails to bear fruit."

$-Jeremiah 17:5-8, NIV
